Oh yes, it is time to give a review on a bourbon so great I can hardly contain myself as I type this. Its taste so smooth I am afraid to dare drink it as I offend the Gods. A bourbon with history and vigor. May I also dare say it was handed down by a Frenchman. Oh no, what has the world come too!
Taste: A+ Seriously folks, I don't say this lightly. I am a huge fan of bourbons and have had some of the best of them. Tonight a new standard has been made. The first taste brought hints of sweet vanilla and honey to my lips. I tasted just a tad of smokiness as it finished off oh so smoothly. I recommend drinking it not only neat but in a glass of Coke. It reminded me of Vanilla Coke. Mmmmm... Packaging: A This is another thing I loved about Bulleit. The packaging is very unique. It is very much like the bottles you would expect around the 1800's. Its packaging has the subtleties that help put you in the frontier environment.
Value: B The value is very reasonable. It stays around the same price as some of the other middle end bourbons. Can't complain.
Drunkenness: A Considering I have a pretty good buzz going on right now. Oh yeah, its a creeper folks. You have to watch it because at 90 proof, it don't take much.
Overall: A This is definitely my new favorite and it makes a mighty fine vanilla Coke. I would recommend giving this one as a gift or if your selfish, horde it all to yourself. I know I am going with the latter of the two. Until next time...
